What is Josephine Wants To Dance about?

Josephine is a young kangaroo with a passion for ballet, but her brother insists that kangaroos should hop, not dance. When a visiting ballet company loses both its lead ballerina and understudy, Josephine gets the chance to show what she can do. With determination, courage and plenty of leaps, she steps on to the stage. Can Josephine save the performance and prove that following your dream matters more than fitting in?
